At the NNMC Library, we have a growing collection of DVDs, audio CDs, and CD-ROMs (many of which accompany books) To browse our titles, please refer to the binders by the computers in the reference area Present title and call number to the person at the desk, and we will locate the disc(s) for you You may take out up to 2 DVDs/CDs at a time (7 days) Audiobooks are a 2 week check-out Media

Microfilm • We currently have several newspapers on microfilm (although the Rio Grande Sun is not indexed) • We also have many local and historical documents on microfilm • Please see someone at the desk if you want to use the reader • Geneaology • In addition to the resources on microform, we also have many paper resources including: • Indexes to microform • Census data • Baptism and marriage records Microform & Geneaology

  10. The NNMC Library subscribes to an extensive list of online databases and scholarly journals • Student Login: • Username: Banner ID Password: Last name • If you have problems logging in, call or visit us • This login is also good from home! • JSTOR: In liberal arts classes such as Pueblo Indian Studies, this database will be particularly useful Online Resources

  11. Crash course in Boolean searching: • “” • () • AND • OR • * • Be flexible with your terms – if one doesn’t work, a variation might (e.g. “woman” vs “women” – which can also be searched as wom*n) • The best way to get really good at searching is to practice! • Boolean terms will work with most search engines, including Google Search Tips

  12. JSTOR search example Example

  13. If you cannot find what you are looking for at NNMC, then we can request items from other libraries • This requires advanced planning – it can take 2 weeks to get an item in, depending on where the item is located • Ask the person at the desk for a request form • LIBROS reciprocal agreements: • You can borrow from other libraries in the LIBROS consortium, but you will need a “permission slip” from us that indicates you are in good standing with NNMC, and you are subject to the other libraries’ lending rules and fines.
